Something those less than twenty can not know about!

Yes, now I confirm ascii is "broken" right now :

sysvinit-utils : Depends: util-linux (> 2.28-2~) but 2.28-1+devuan3 is to be installed.

but util-linux in ascii is still 2.28-1+devuan3

Thanks,

I am yet running tests on a virtual machine with a snapshot from a fresh netinstall CD using graphical installer (just unselecting tasks for Desktop Environments). The only thing I did is disabling Recommended packages.

But there is no difference in the way I installed and upgraded before, so I suspect some new/upgraded packages in ascii repository. I also did not made any change to the default source.list (I mean before replacing jessie with ascii) :

# 

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 1.0-final _Jessie_ - Official amd64 NETINST Binar$

#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 1.0-final _Jessie_ - Official amd64 NETINST Binary$

deb http://fr.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie main
deb-src http://fr.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie main

# jessie-security, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://fr.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-security main non-free
deb-src http://fr.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-security main non-free

# jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://fr.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-updates main non-free
deb-src http://fr.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-updates main non-free

devuan.list :

# autogenerated by devuan-baseconf
# decomment following lines to  enable the developers devuan repository
#deb http://packages.devuan.org/devuan jessie main
#deb-src http://packages.devuan.org/devuan jessie main

As I said I just added /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01lean with :

APT::Install-Recommends "false";

Hi,

I already upgraded several Jessie Devuan test machines to ascii, but this time, from a netinstall only setup,

sudo apt full-upgrade
....
WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed
This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing!
e2fsprogs util-linux (due to e2fsprogs) init sysvinit-core (due yo init) sysvinit-utils
...........
You are about to do something potentially harmful
...............

I tried a two time upgrade (upgrade + full-upgrade). And I say yes, the system does not boot any more.

Hi,

on Devuan home page, inside https and http mirrors list, there is a ... very weird mirror name in french :

devuan.unetresgrossebite.com

If i translate this in english, it is :

devuan.averybigdick.com

I don't know if we can trust a mirror with this name!
